1 The chemistry of phosphorus pt.1
By Laura Roa

2 Chemical properties Different from Nitrogen: Nitrogen’s pi bonds
Nitrogen’s electronegativity Size of Phosphorus atom D orbitals on Phosphorus

3 Elemental form differences
Several solid forms of phosphorus. White phosphorus Black phosphorus Red phosphorus Forms phosphides

4 Phosphine Na3P + 3 H2O = PH3 + 3 NaOH (formation) Analogous to Ammonia
Small affinity for protons Pyramidal molecular structure: Exception to VSEPR

5 Phosphorus oxides and oxyacids
Phosphorus reacts with oxygen to form oxides: Tetraphosphorus decoxide Affinity Dehydrating Dissolvation Phosphate minerals
